Thanks Skywire,I use SnapDB regularly. It is very good for a few hundred records, I haven't tried anything larger yet.It is very responsive on my very old laptop.

I created a new DB from a spreadsheet CSV export and ran into a small problem.The DB contains numbers with commas eg 124,256.These numbers do not sort in numeric order and are not added up correctly.I could remove the commas but large numbers are hard to interpret without them.

I'm glad to hear you're still using the application. This build allows for the summing of numbers that contain commas and/or dollar signs. As usual, I've done pretty minimal testing so please let me know how it works for you in your environment.

In regards to the sorting issue, it seems to work okay for me. Can you provide me with a list of numbers that don't sort correctly for you? Also, which operating system are you using?

The listview sorting is something that I don't think I can do anything about. I've tried testing with the various listview sort options available to me but none of them do what you're wanting. What is boils down to is that, programmatically, something like "1,000" is simply not an integer or a float (decimal point number). Trying to modify the data on the fly for the purpose of a sort is well outside the scope of Snap DB, IMO.

As for the searching issue, I can try to do something about that. Stay tuned.

I have another query about usage.I have a number of SnapDB databases and I like to use different fonts and window sizes for each.The only solution I've come up with is to have a directory for each with its own copy of SnapDB.exe and config.ini.I could use a wrapper to swap config.ini files but that also seems inelegant.Is there a better way?

Hello, skwire.I've been using SnapDB since 2011 and have contributed with some ideas. I wanted to ask you why is the "Edit record" option greyed out when in "Filter" mode? I often have the need to edit the record i just found but I'm unable to this in "Filter" mode. If this is not possible, is it possible to keep the record selected in "Filter" mode, selected when you leave this mode?

hi skwire,I'm just trying this out today:on resizing the SnapDB window, I've gotten three freezes so far - with the app hogging one full core (I killed/restarted it in between). I seem to be able to reproduce it by resizing window from the right, but also reproduced it dragging from bottom right (possibly dragging any side will work).

So far I can partially recover by changing the focus to another window and back - but SnapDB continues to hog CPU and doesnt respond properly. (I can drop down a menu but not do any more - if I alttab away/back I can drop down a different menu entry but then it freezes again.)

In the screenshot you can see that the info in the statusbar is garbled from resizing.

I can reproduce this by grabbing the right side and shaking the hell out of it but not under normal circumstances. I'm going to guess the issue is in the Anchor() function that I use for positioning and resizing controls.

Short answer: Utter laziness. Long answer: This might be a bit difficult to explain. Snap DB databases aren't really databases in the relational sense (they're simple flat files). When displaying filtered contents, what you're seeing is a new listview of matching results that have no correlation with the non-filtered view. I haven't sat down and come up with a way to correlate the two. Does that make any sense?

Thank you. Yes it makes sense. I use SnapDB everyday. Just an idea: You could try to add IDs to every record even if they are not displayed on the file and take this ID along with the record when in filter mode so you can know what record to update in the original listview. Thanks.

This probably needs a new thread/program but I will ask any way. Is there any way Snap DB (or one like it) can have a checklist? I mean I am looking for a simple flat file DB with support for a yes/no field.

Yes, that's basically what I am after. I know Snap DB doesn't do it. I am trying my best to avoid using one more program filled with to do and other data though. That's why I asked here in the Snap DB thread.

Just one wish: Is it possible to add multi-line fields (in Table Pro by ZGS this is implemented with combination Ctrl + Enter, but Table Pro does not suppurt unicode )?

And one remark. If change the window's size from maximized to arbitrary and then back again - fields for records are no longer occupy the entire window. If reduce again - they become even smaller. This happens with default options and with no file opened too (one time I changed font size to 10, and imported large CSV (nearly 500 lines) and suspected that as cause, but after restored default options and no changes).No difference, window is changed by grabbing the bottom right side or with buttons.OS: XP SP2.
